This course takes on the study of cinema in an international, cross-cultural, and historical perspective. We study possible ways of answering these and other questions: Is there such a thing as world cinema? What is the relationship between “world cinema” and “national cinemas”? What is “national” about national cinemas? What has been the role historically between the U.S. film market and other national film markets? This course will attempt to answer these and other questions by introducing students to theoretical debates about the categorization and global circulation of films, film style, authorship, and audiences. Along the way, we will focus on a number of specific films that are representative of different national film traditions.
